- Description
- The U.S. Army RDECOM AC-Natick Contracting Division, in support of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), has identified a need to procure Chemical/Biological (CB) protective overboots. The overboots are for use by USSOCOM personnel conducting missions where protection from liquid CB agents, industrial (POL) contaminants, high-friction tasks, and other environmental conditions is required. The overboot will be used with existing standard military footwear and used in conjunction wit h the All Purpose Personal Protective Ensemble (AP-PPE) developed for use by USSOCOM personnel. The overboots must be lightweight, highly-durable, and have integrated chemical and biological liquid, aerosol, and vapor resistance, alone and exposed to PO Ls. The overboot shall be capable of being worn over existing combat boots, be fabricated in a subdued fabric color, and provide optimal traction. The soling system shall be designed for comfort and durability. It is expected that all materials used wil l hold up under the extreme conditions found in hot weather, temperate weather, mountainous operational environments as well as Garrison environments. Materials should be selected to provide CB protection and optimized personnel performance. The Government anticipates a Full and Open Competition acquisition.
